Hey, if the job pans out, keep an eye out for the two adult actors (so far as I'm aware) that most resemble Col. Sheppard: Luciano Endino and the aptly named Johnny Hazard.

You could be their "affirmative action" candidate. After all, most of the people working there are probably men. You could be their token woman! :grins:

At least I bet your resume will get some notice, because like you, I'd imagine that most of the people applying may be men. It's definately, definately worth applying.

I should post the hilarious story of siriaeve, megolas, fyrie and I trying to watch a gay porn film

You totally should! (I do not have friends who would watch gay porn films with me. I must live vicariously through those who do. *g*)
